Trying to get the guy to COD one of these "unbelievably priced" units. He will answer the phone and converse with you about them but I am still skeptical.

and when you get a headache DO NOT POST here about your bullshit experience. Its cuz of your own doing you get any headache. COD what a joke, even if he sends it to you he could send a brick and you HAVE to pay for the brick.

It is unbelievable just how gullible some people can be.

Darn, eBay removed the listing. Wish I saw it. Anyone have a cache of the page?

If it is real I am guessing they are stolen. You could ask for a serial number before bidding. But this sound to good to be true, and COD does not protect you.

 

Oh and all 12 of his feedback that can be seen are below $45 ... odd. From a few sales under $50 to bulk sales of parts worth thousands. I would contact him using the eBay tool, not just calling or using the email listed. It is easy to fake a few small sales on eBay to get good looking feedback.

 

This might be a hijacked eBay account. Seller's history of sales were small and slow for about a year. Then he sells several pieces of electronic for ~$1,000 in a few days. The fake seller asked in the auction to send cash or money orders to some random address. When things didn't get shipped out buyers complained to the actual owner who was very confused. Fake seller has about $20,000 and is no where to be found. Feds got involved.

 

Edit:

Oh I just noticed all of the feed back was from the seller buying things not selling things. The seller has 0 sales. Not good at all!!!

So you were being facetious when you said you think it looked real?

Trying to convince my bud that its a bad deal. I told him I think it is a rip but he says if the guy is willing to COD he is willing to pay. I also reviewed his ebay sales and saw him buying strange items such as earrings, knices, GPS antennas, and other assorted goods. I am not going to be doing business with him. I am the owner of a Avic-N2.

I saw this post this weekend and remembered it when my buddy told me about it this morning. I immeadiately tried to advise him that it was probably a scam when he pulled it up by Googling cheap Avic D3. I am certain it is a scam. Everyone is not gullible.

A Z2 for $700 ! ! ! LOL!

 

The saying, "If it looks too good to be true, it probably is"

 

is a lie...it DEFINATELY is way too good to be true!

LISTEN TO ME!!!!! IT IS A SCAM!!! A FRIEND OF MINE LOST OVER 6000 DOLLARS ON A HARELY THE SAME WAY. IT WASN'T COD HE WIRED THE MONEY AND NEVER GOT THE BIKE OR HIS MONEY BACK

He wired money to an unknown stranger?

 

That is the dumbest thing ever. It's like handing a drug dealer a $50 bill and saying "meet me here tomorrow with the dope." 9 times out of 10 he won't show.

 

ALWAYS use a secrued escrow that offers payment protection.

I have seen scams that also use escrow, be careful to make sure they are legit. I always suggest using a credit card. If they are a scam, the credit card company will go after them.

Yes, I told him at least ten times that it was a scam. Dumbest man I ever met.

I called the number from work and got a voice mail. LOL

Take a look at the seller's feedback. There are 2 negative feedback entries for this month: both are $450 Pioneer Navis. Both bidders say that they were scammed by this seller.

 

While it is true that the saying "if it's too good to be true, it probably is," is accurate, but I subscribe to a more pragmatic philosophy:

 

 

A fool and his money are soon parted.

 

 

Someone let me know if you have any success getting 1) a product, or 2) a refund.
